When we bought our 78 MGB, a couple years ago, it had what I believe to 
a some-what stock exhaust system (Muffler and Resonator, less the 
Catalytic).  The sound was pleasant and quite British.  Unfortunately 
the muffler gave out.  I replaced everything with a Tourist Trophy 
Stainless Steel Sport System from Moss.

The new system only had the resonator/rear muffler and proved to be a 
bit to loud for both my wife and myself.  I called Moss and tried to get 
a front muffler to replace the first pipe off the manifold but 
unfortunately they don't carry one.

My solution was to remove the front pipe (flanges at both ends) I cut 
out the appropriate length of pipe and welded in a new stainless steel 
MagnaFlow Muffler (model 11124) between the flanges.  If I remember 
correctly it was about 80 bucks at the local speed shop.  It wasn't a 
perfect fit but with a little shoving and pushing everything lined up 
and fit pretty good.

The end result was a much quieter exhaust with a nice dulled British sound.
